Diofanor is one of the best specialty producers in the Quindio region of Central-West Colombia. Diafanor grows coffee above 1,600 metres and all under shadow. Diofanor has a stong belief in biodiversity and it shows on his farm with very little impact on the natural environment and no use of pesticides or chemical fertilisers. 

Carbonic macerated coffee processing is inspired by the wine making technique of the same name. Whole cherries are placed in sealed tanks and purged with CO2 to create a carbon dioxide rich environment. It can create very unique and complex flavours such as brown butter, rich fruits like feijoa and herbal notes.
